Dog: Heel command
The definition of heel is for your dog to be at your left side, walking parallel to you with no more than six inches between you. The right side of your dog’s head is lined up with your left leg.

Teaching your dog to go to his bed (or crate) is relatively easy and very useful. Not only can you
direct your dog to go lie down in situations when it’s nice to have him out from underfoot, for example during mealtimes or when visitors are at the door, but your dog will learn to settle at times when he might otherwise get over-excited.
When your dog knows “find it,” you can distract him away from or pass distractions in the
environment. It’s also a great way to give your dog a mental workout.
Teaching your dog to turn 180 degrees on command allows you to turn him away from things that might make him react negatively.
